<description>Spooky greeting booknerds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We know we're late but better late than never right? In this episode, we got to talk to the mysterious Kopi Soh, author of &lt;i&gt;Looking After the Ashes. &lt;/i&gt;The book is a semi-biographical fiction of Kopi Soh’s childhood stories from growing up in a Peranakan family filled with "wisdom". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We talked about strange taboos (pantang larang), spirits, ghosts, and everything in between. We definitely learnt some new ones and relived some taboos we heard growing up. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We hope you enjoy this episode and do pick up Kopi's book! Cheers!</description>
